Remus comes back from war, but it's one of those videos of soldiers seeing their dogs again for the first time in months/years. Padfoot is wagging his tail uncontrollably and snuffling into Remus' neck, and Remus is crying into his fur, holding him so tight.

[sliebman10]

wait a fucking minute. i’ve been pondering for Ages about what kind of job a modern day/muggle au sirius would have and i think i finally found my holy grail. yknow those tv shows where they build homes for people, rebuilt their houses and interior and stuff? DUDE!!!!! sirius would sooo go crazy at the demolition and then do a bit of everything with his team when rebuilding, no matter what it his, get his hands all dirty and get sweaty asf. he loves when he gets home after a long day and feels it in his body, muscles aching. sirius is super creative but i think he’d probably need a partner for interior design because he’d run danger of just Not listening to his clients’ visions because it’s quote unquote Frankly Stupid and Tasteless. but PLS, handsome, witty, muscled from physical work and with a charming smile, dark hair, light eyes—HE’S THE HEARTTHROB OF EVERY MOM WATCHING FROM AT HOME GLUED TO THE SCREEN!!

Prompt 26 - Baby AU

@wolfstarmicrofic April 26, word count 478

They’d talked about it for years. Mainly when they were drunk, but still, it had been a subject repeatedly for them. Remus looked down at the paperwork in his hands and watched them shake. He was ready for this next step. He just hoped that Sirius was as well. 

He knocked quietly on Sirius’s studio door. 

“Come in,” His husband called as the soft twangs of his guitar died away. Remus pushed the heavy handle down and swung the door open.

“Sorry,” He said, “I thought you were finished. I can come back.” He made to shut the door. 

“Don’t be ridiculous, get in here.” Sirius propped his guitar on its stand and hauled Remus into the room. “What’s up?” He asked, placing a kiss on the back of Remus’s hand. 

“Erm, there was just something I wanted to talk to you about.” He paused for a moment, his palms sweating as he nervously went over his rehearsed words in his head. Sirius’s eyes widened, and he looked worried. 

“Remus, what is it?” He grabbed Remus’s free hand in his and looked at the papers clutched in the other. “Remus, please, what is it?” His voice was tinged with panic as he searched his lover’s face for clues. Remus swallowed loudly and thrust the papers at him. His mouth had gone dry, and this was easier. “A baby?” Sirius questioned as his eyes flew across the paperwork. “You want us to adopt a baby?” Remus looked up at his vibrant blue eyes, made even more blue by his pale skin and ebony curls. He nodded. 

“I’m ready. I want a baby, Sirius.” His voice faltered, and he couldn’t say any more. 

Sirius stared at him, his face a blank mask. Suddenly, he spun around on his chair and pulled one of his desk drawers open. He rifled through the countless pieces of paper stuff in there until he found what he wanted. He smoothed it out and handed it over. 

Remus looked down at the identical forms he’d handed over to Sirius. The only difference was these ones had been filled in. He looked at his husband in amazement. 

“How long have you had these?” He asked, his voice choked. 

“A while,” Sirius responded, shrugging. “I was waiting for you to be certain.” Remus launched himself at Sirius, curling his considerable length into Sirius’s waiting lap. They held each other tightly. “Just think, Remus, one day soon, there’ll be a tiny human in this house for us to love and cherish and buy far too many gifts for.” Sirius crooned into his ear as his fingers carded through Remus’s hair.

They filled out Remus’s forms together and sent them off the next day to start the process. Both sent a silent wish into the world that they wouldn’t have to wait long for their little family to grow.

Both Alike in Dignity Chapter 10

I posted the final chapter of this fic today.

Snippet:

There were people and costumes everywhere. James was a little overwhelmed as he looked for Sirius, Remus and Peter. He found Sirius kneeling over a large boombox in the corner, changing CDs.

“Hey,” James said. “What are you putting on?”

“Rent,” Sirius said, brandishing an orange CD and putting it carefully into the player. “Official pre-show music.”

“Right,” James said, rubbing the back of his neck nervously. Guitar music started emanating from the speaker and a bunch of the girls squealed.

“Turn it up!” Mary called.

Sirius turned to look at him and saw he was pale and fidgety. “You ok?” James shrugged. “Let’s go for a walk,” Sirius said, hopping up and leading James out into the hallway.

The school looked different at night somehow. It was quiet and empty, except for where the cast of the show convened.

“What’s wrong?” Sirius asked.

James shrugged. “It’s…a lot in there…” he started and Sirius looked confused. He tried again. “Just nervous is all. What if I make a fool of myself?”

“I won’t let that happen,” Sirius said. “We’ve worked too hard for it to come apart now. Besides…you’re James Potter. You’ll be great.”

Read from the beginning.

Prompt 25 - Criminal AU

@wolfstarmicrofic April 25, word count 857

Sirius, wrapped in his brand-new wool cloak, sauntered down the street, perusing the wears of the local sellers. It was market day, and the locals were out in their droves. Normally, Sirius wouldn’t deem to mix with the riff-raff, but after the stifling morning of lessons and the lecture from his parents about upholding the family name, he’d needed to escape. To lose himself for a while. 

Out here amongst the lesser mortals, he could pretend he wasn’t the heir to the most prestigious family in the country. Even the royals couldn’t hold a beacon to the power and respect garnered by the House of Black. 

He breathed in the putrid smell of the lower classes and revelled in the freedom. He’d just spotted a shabby-looking pie shop and debated braving the questionable-looking meat when a tall man with a face lashed with scars knocked into his side. 

“Sorry, excuse me,” The man mumbled hurriedly before continuing down the street. 

Now, Sirius was many things, but a fool he was not. He checked where his coin purse had been secure in his pocket, and of course, it was gone. 

“Hey, you! Come back here!” He bellowed down the street, his anger rippling through. The man glanced over his shoulder and took off at a full run, his long legs an advantage over Sirius’s shorter ones, but only for so long. 

Sirius had lived his entire life in a saddle, pushing himself and his horses faster and faster for longer and longer. He was built for endurance. His well-muscled thighs were still pumping as the thief began to tire. 

The thief clearly knew the streets well, but so did Sirius, having come here many times over the years to escape. He followed the man down every twisting, turning alley until the lanky being took a wrong turn and trapped himself in a dead end, his back up against the wall.

Sirius slowed to a long stride and casually leant against the narrow passageway in front of the exhausted man. He extended his arm and raised his brow. The thief sighed, threw the purse to his waiting hand and slumped to the floor, breathing heavily. It was then that Sirius noticed how skinny he was and how ragged his thin clothes were. 

“You do this often, then?” Sirius asked sternly, trying to get a feel for the man. The man looked up, shocked to see Sirius still there watching him. He pulled his thin clothes around him tighter and scowled at the brown puddle against the brickwork. 

“No,” He muttered. “You looked like an easy target.” His eyes snapped up to look straight at Sirius. “Clearly not.” He spat onto the ground. “Why are you still here? Get the Bobbys if you want. I’m in no condition to move now.” 

Sirius watched his chest heave with each laboured breath and sighed. For some godforsaken reason, he couldn’t leave the half-starved vagrant.

“You got someone waiting for you?” He asked. The thief flinched. 

“Yes,” He said, and Sirius knew it for the lie it was. This man had nothing and no one. 

“You good with your hands?” He questioned further. Those warm brown eyes dropped and stared beneath Sirius’s cloak. The man began to crawl forward and was reaching towards Sirius when Sirius realised what was happening. “No, no! That’s not what I meant!” He gently pushed the man’s hand away from the buttons on his trousers. “We need a groundsman to tend to the flowerbeds and whatnot. Keep the grass cut, walls intact, that sort of thing. There’s a small hut and a salary with the job. If you want it, of course.” He’d started babbling, so he stopped himself. The brown eyes darkened. 

“What’s the catch?” He rasped from the floor in front of Sirius. 

“Nothing, no catch. Just don’t tell my parents this is where we met.” Sirius panicked for a second. His parents would have the man killed if they knew where he’d come from.

“You live with your parents?” The man snorted but stopped quickly, catching himself. 

“I’m in a different wing,” Sirius explained. He held his hand out to the crouching man. “Sirius Black, heir to the Most Noble and Ancient House of Black.” The man gawped. Sirius motioned with his hand for the other man to take it. The man hesitated before slowly accepting it. Sirius helped him haul himself to his feet. “And you are?” He prompted when the man didn’t reciprocate. 

“Remus Lupin. I don’t have a fancy title to go with it.” He said blandly. Sirius threw his head back and laughed. 

“Well, Remus,” He said, wiping the tears from his eyes. “The first thing we’re going to do is get a hot meal into you, and then we’ll pick out some new clothes, but the main thing you need, my new friend, is a bath, because and I do mean to be rude here, you smell worse than the Thames.” He softened his words with a smile and a wink before he turned on his heel, Remus following close behind him as they reentered the bustling streets of London.

Teacher AU

(Harry's loss of his parents is discussed but nothing is graphically described)

“Hello, I’m looking for Professor Lupin,” a voice said from the hallway outside Remus’s third grade classroom. 

“Can I help you?” Remus asked politely.

“I have an appointment regarding Harry Potter? I’m Sirius Black, his…godfather,” Sirius said, stumbling slightly over the relationship. It was all so new, after all. But he couldn’t think about that now.

Remus wasn’t sure what he was expecting when he’d arranged the conference with Harry’s guardian, but this tall man with long hair and a leather jacket was not it. He offered his hand and Mr. Black shook it and Remus couldn’t help the jolt of energy he felt when he touched this man’s hand.

He gestured for Mr. Black to sit. He’d prepared a speech about how Harry was acting out, and he’d referred him to the school counselor, but maybe he needed outside therapy…but he forgot all of that as he watched Mr. Black, who was now lounging comfortably in a small plastic chair next to Remus’s desk. 

“Is there someone who usually sits here?” Sirius asked, looking sideways at Remus, taking in his messy curls and cardigan with the sleeves pushed up to reveal his rather sinewy forearms

“That's not a permanent seat, no,” Remus answered. “A student might sit there if we are having a conference about their work…or if they need some space from their group to concentrate.”

“Does Harry sit here?” Sirius asked. The question had weight to it. Both of them could feel it. Remus knew what he was asking. Does Harry sit there because he can’t cope with being that close to his classmates?

“Sometimes,” Remus responded, truthfully.

Sirius nodded, like he was expecting it. “What should I do?” Sirius’s voice sounded small. Without thinking about it, Remus reached out and took his hand. It was cool, and his fingers were long and lean. Sirius curled them around Remus’s gratefully.

“Is he in therapy?”

“Yeah, But he hates going,” Sirius said, with a sad smile. Remus didn’t blame him. Not many nine year olds would want to talk about their feelings after losing their parents.

“What about you?”

“Me?” Sirius looked confused. “What do you mean?”

“Are you taking care of yourself?” Remus asked softly, wondering about his real motive for asking but then deciding he didn’t care. He didn’t want to see these two sink under their shared grief. 

“I mean…I guess? I thought we were here to talk about Harry?” Sirius said, a mischievous expression crossing his features but was gone so quickly Remus thought he imagined it.

“Right,” Remus said, embarrassed.

“But I’ll tell you what, Professor…we can chat about me over drinks tomorrow night.”

D, P, T, V!

Hi! Thanks for the ask <3

D- A pairing you wish you liked but you just can't

Jegulus just isn't my thing. I really like both James and Regulus, but I just don't get into the dynamic I've seen around a lot.

P- Invent a random AU for any fandom

Marauders Pitch Perfect AU would be so fun.

T - Do you have any hard and fast head canons that you will die defending?

Hmm. Ok. Sirius set aside money to take care of Remus before he left everything else to Harry. (It's not in his will, he did it while he was alive and stuck in Grimmauld Place)

V - Which character to do you relate to most?

Oh this is hard because it depends on the day. Today I think it's Remus because he's a teacher, and he tries to make everyone happy but sometimes forgets to take care of himself.

For the ask game

please.

Hi! Thank you for the ask <3.

This is for the HP fandom (...obviously lol)

N - Name three things you wish you saw more of in your main fandom (or a fandom of choice).

The HP fandom does not lack for creativity, but sometimes I wish people would show more flexibility and grace toward writers who don't always write the fanon characterizations or most popular tropes.

I also feel like people pick one of the HP generations to focus on (Marauders, Lightening Gen, Next Gen, etc)...and I wish there was more crossover between the different Gen characters.

Hi! Thank you for the ask.

B - A pairing–platonic, romantic or sexual–that you initially didn’t consider, but someone changed your mind?

I definitely have to say Harry Potter/George Weasley. I remember seeing a rec on r/HPSlashfic for this pairing, and I was like hmm, that could be interesting. So I read it, and really liked it. I thought about how these two could lean on each other postwar to process and work through their grief, and I thought they'd get really close and possibly fall for each other. Then I started writing it myself, and have come to really love these two together.

Hiya, Aunty Sliebman!

D - A pairing you wish you liked but just can’t.

N - Name three things you wish you saw more of in your main fandom (or a fandom of choice).

U - Three favorite characters from three different fandoms, and why they’re your favorites.

Have fun!

H - What is your favorite source text for fandom stuff (e.g., TV shows, movies, books, anime, Western animation, etc.)?

I usually subscribe to the philosophy of "the book is always better" so for HP, that's my main source along with the fandom wiki. Wikipedia is pretty extensive for Star Wars stuff, and if I'm writing about a TV show, I usually go to the source and then maybe watch clips on Youtube.

U - Three favorite characters from three different fandoms, and why they’re your favorites.

Oh gosh. OK.

Sirius Black - so he wasn't my favorite until I started writing fanfiction and realized just how rich of a character he is and just how much he gets screwed over by canon. Sirius is fiercely loyal (to a fault), single minded, rebellious. magically talented...So yes, it's become part of my mission to make sure he gets a good life and a happy ending.

Leia Organa - she's just. the OG female badass. Like, she's literally the inciting incident in the Star Wars Original trilogy. She turns the damsel in distress trope on its head.

Hmm, last one is hard but I'm going to go with Jonathan Turner since I'm currently watching Boy Meets World (and bugging @oceangirl24 about it). Jon is a caring teacher who is also rebellious both in the classroom and out. He takes in Shawn and acts as a father figure to him, even though it puts him at odds with his boss.

(From Chapter 10 of Both Alike, coming soon...hopefully)

Meanwhile, Sirius was putting the finishing touches on his own costume when Remus joined him. “All made up, I see,” Sirius said. 

Remus snorted. “Yeah. I have way too much foundation on.” He stepped closer, fixing Sirius’s collar. “It’ll be your turn next.”

Sirius caught his hand. “Yeah. I suppose so,” he said, giving Remus’s hand a squeeze. “Still ok with telling everyone?”

They’d decided to come out as a couple at the cast party tomorrow, after their second show. “I am if you are,” Remus said, as they walked over to the makeup station, dropping hands as they went.

It Would Have Been Enough

The promised Passover fic is finished and posted before the end of the holiday! Chag samech, everyone <3

Snippet:

“You can open the door, Harry,” Sirius said, his voice muffled by Remus’s shoulder. Harry shook his head at them and went to open the door. Remus released Sirius with a soft kiss to his forehead and they turned around to see Alphard grinning at them.

“Don’t let me interrupt…I just come bearing brisket,” he said with a wink.

Sirius raised his eyebrow at his uncle. “You’re early.”

“Never let it be said that I run on Jewish time, hintele ,” he said, kissing Sirius’s cheek.

Andromeda, Dora and Ted showed up a bit later, as Teddy was regaling Alphard and Levi with songs he learned in school. She came bustling into the kitchen with a covered pyrex dish. “Hello, hello. Thank you for having us,” she said. “You know I would have had everything ready on time,” she said with a grin and a wink.

“Yes, maybe. But it’s our turn and we’re doing it our way,” Sirius said, rising to the bait.

“Alright, you two…” Alphard said, waving them away good-naturedly.

“Whatever, Uncle,” Andromeda said.

“We’re glad you all are here,” Sirius said, taking the wine glasses out to the table.

They sat down and Teddy passed around the kid friendly coloring book style Haggadahs they’d gotten from his school. Remus flipped to the first page. “Shall we start?”
